According to NyTeknik, Sweden's "leading technology and IT newspaper", two leading scientists associated with the Royal Institute of Technology and the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences have ruled out chemical reactions associated with the 6-hour continuous operation of a small power generator. The device
A Greek green energy company has begun construction of a factory to produce the small 5 Kw generators.
An American-based company has acquired rights to manufacture and distribute the generators in the Americas.

Swedish physicists on the E-cat:
“It’s a nuclear reaction”
“In some way a new kind of physics is taking place. It’s enigmatic, but probably no new laws of nature are involved. We believe it is possible to explain the process with known laws of nature,” said Hanno Essén, associate professor of theoretical physics and a lecturer at the Swedish Royal Institute of Technology and chairman member of the board (chairman until April 2) of the Swedish Skeptics Society.
Essén and Professor Emeritus at Uppsala University Sven Kullander, also chairman of the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences’ Energy Committee, both participated on 29 March as observers at a new trial in Bologna of the so-called ‘energy catalyzer’, which could be based on cold fusion, or LENR, Low Energy Nuclear Reaction.
In their report they note that it took nine minutes to go from 20 to 60 degrees centigrade, which corresponds to the heating from the input electrical power. Going from 60 to 97.5 degrees centigrade, by contrast, just took four minutes.
Defkalion Green Energy Technologies (Greece) has invested 200 million Euros for the building of a manufacturing facility for the E-Cat generator.
Defkalion shows interest to market the E-Cat in Europe and in the Americas. The deal calls for delivery of a one megawatt heating plant that consists of 300 reactors of 4 kW connected in series and parallel. The plant will be inaugurated in October 2011 and would supply heating for Defkalion’s own uses only.
A private U.S. company called Ampenergo, founded in part by an ex-U.S. Department of Energy Assistant Secretary and a lead scientist at the Chemistry and Surface Sciences Division of the National Energy Technology Laboratory in Philadelphia, PA has very recently (9 hours ago) acquired production and distributing rights for this technology in North and South America.

Craig Cassarino of Ampenergo told NyTeknik that his company is “impressed” with the green energy device.
Bologna University physicist Giuseppe Levi said in an interview with the magazine: “If you search the literature you’ll find serious scientists…describing that they managed to produce 50 watts in an experiment one day, failed to repeat it the next day and the third day it was 30 watts. These are things that are difficult to repeat and hard to understand.”
Ampenergo is also in talks with several companies in North and South America, though some of which express doubts to the practicability of the technology.
One of the companies that believes in the device is considering to put the technology into fuel applications for its supposed high power density.
According to Rossi, to power a unit for six months after a recharge would cost only $100, which would cost thousands of dollars to produce the same capacity using energy from oil.
